Kolkata friends, now that better weather is forecast for next week. you can always celebrate by picking up a copy at Starmark 😈

April has been exhausting. Finally picked up a copy of my friend (and occasional editor) sayari 🇵🇸' first full-length translation from good ol' Midland's yesterday!

Excited to dive into Chandan Pandey's work, which so far feels mischievously nimble.

Starting today, every Sunday I'll recommend a book to read during the week.

The first book of the series is Rohinton Mistry's debut novel Such a Long Journey, published in 1991.
